Watched status per user - Vilhjalmr - 2014-11-09
Would it be possible for those with mutliple systems/users sharing a central mysql database, to add a user id to the user(default of 0) and add a separate table, with unique key of userID and fileID, to contain the watched status, that way all of the file data does not need duplicated, and the remainder of the system should stay mostly unchanged.
And for setting up users on different systems, make the userID a value that can be set during user creation.
Then when a video is watched it is set as such in the table for the currently logged in user.

Do you mean that it should work like how watched status works for profiles in Netflix from the end-user perspective?

Netflix have a nice way to mark a movie or show as watched for multiple when you viewing together with your whole family.
